Not really, who wants to watch 10-7 games on homecoming.
Asking again: Has the rot started to set in?

OSU is like one of our only realistic chances at a conference win. I sure hope we can show up and win somehow. Don’t have a great feeling about it obviously no matter how bad OSU is this year
Another sign you’re a fan since 2017 and don’t know rot.
Saying there is a lack of talent is different than saying there is rot.
If there wasn’t talent to avoid making Ohio look significantly better than Iowa on defense, you wouldn’t be starting threads about rot.
Ohio was more of the same from the last 7 years. Recall a game like UNI in 2019, in which our offense was marginalized by a staff with a bad scheme.
This is like judging whether a player can defend under Prohm.
I like the correlation you are making here, however damning it might be. I think I agree.
I do also think there is talent on the roster. These guys have a track record of bringing talent to Ames, some of the best talent to ever play at Iowa State in fact. Right now that talent is 1) young and underdeveloped, and 2) being horribly misused. The only position where I question talent is the OL. Even there, it is probably more an issue of poor scheming and/or teaching from the coaches both past and present.
Pollard is under absolutely NO pressure to do anything. Short of CMC pulling a Tucker, they are one big happy family from the U president on down.
I know a loss to a MAC team when I see one, Copemaster.
Seems like we’re getting the grieving stage of “Results don’t matter”. Classic.
They're saying that even with a ton of talent, we only go out and beat a UNI team in OT and probably should've lost. This isn't a talent issue. It's not even an experience issue. It's a full offensive scheme and play calling issue and it's on Matt Campbell.
I am sympathetic you’re coping with your first awful season by screaming “rot”.
But it’s not rot.
Simply more of the same, you were just fooled by some NFL guys on that side masking that CMC’s offense is prohibitive to maximizing roster upside
A lot of good in CMC’s program, but it is a fire-worthy flaw if it’s not corrected very soon
And that's why I withdrew my support years ago.
It's about the fans. Always about the fans. They're your customers.
ISU doesn't deserve the fans it has considering performance.
JP can leave too if he wants.
If this season continues to tank and we win 1 or 2 more games CMC will have 2024 to right the ship and if not then it will be over. I believe after that the buyout drops significantly so Pollard could make the change then.
Possible. Hope Campbell gets the Offense going. If he doesn’t then it may be over. Gonna hate seeing Heacock’s Defense leave.
Some of these folks have to be SOOOOO pissed we won today
I have no problem w @Gunnerclone being an arrogant ****(c-word) but own when the team does ok Richard.
Certainly happy we won, but lets not act like we beat a great (or even mediocre) team today or that the same massive flaws (and stubbornness trying to force the run game when it wasn't working) weren't there for much of the game. All the things that Campbell was being criticized for remained pretty valid in this game.
I don't think anyone thought we'd lose to OSU. They are worse than UNI. An ISU team headed for even 5 wins would have won this game by 20. I'd like to see a bigger sample size of our QB. I seem to remember Sam Richardson looking good at first too.
